Casee: I’m on a Maya Banks kick right now. I finished her Enforcers series and am now reading the Breathless series. I’m reading Fever, which is the second book. What’s weird is that I’m pretty sure I’ve read the first two books, but I don’t remember reading the third. Then again I didn’t think I read the second one so who knows.
I just finished Sweet Sinful Seduction by Lauren Blakely on audio. I started listening to The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley and am really enjoying it. I haven’t read a historical is years. This one is a great one to get me back into them.
Holly: I didn’t read much this week. It seemed to take forever for me to get through Free by Kristen Ashley. The book was a hot mess. I was really looking forward to Rush’s story, and seeing how the series was wrapped up. Sadly, it was just a collection of chapters that made little sense to the overall storyarc but gave us glimpses at the couples and/or villains from previous books. I almost DNF’d it, but I wanted to see it through. Had it been about 300 pages shorter, with 5 less POV changes, it would have been a pretty decent book.
I DNF’d the audio of Wild Irish Heart by Tricia O’Malley. I ended up downloading the ebook (currently free for Kindle) because I think I’ll like the story. I kept getting frustrated with the heroine, but I’m pretty sure it’s because of the inflection and emphasis the narrator used. We shall see.
I’m currently about halfway through Devil’s Daughter by Lisa Kleypas, and it.is.amazing. I’m already in love with West, Phoebe and her son Justin. SO.MUCH.LOVE. I’m listening to The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley.
Rowena: I got some reading done this week so that’s always a good thing. I finished Devil’s Daughter by Lisa Kleypas and that was just as delightful as I was expecting. West and Phoebe were a bomb ass couple and I adored every minute of their romance. While I was reading Devil’s Daughter, an eARC of The Risk by Elle Kennedy showed up on my Kindle so I immediately jumped on that mess once I finished with West and Phoebe. Like, immediately jumped into it. I finished Devil’s Daughter around midnight and stayed up for another couple of hours to make some headway into The Risk before taking my ass to sleep. I finished Jake and Bren’s book that same day and just like with Phoebe and West, I loved the hell out of Jake and Bren, even when I wanted to kick Jake in the balls.
Now, I’m reading The Assist by Rebecca Jenshak and so far, it’s okay. I hope it picks up some though. Wish me luck!

The dawning of desire...
1806, Scotland: Wild, reckless Callum MacCreath is in no hurry to become someone’s husband. But when his responsible, steady older brother Ian announces his engagement to their childhood friend Rebecca, Callum makes a startling discovery: he wants the lovely young lass for himself. But it’s too late, and when Ian banishes him for his duplicity, he’s only too happy to leave Scotland forever…
...is delicious and dangerous.
1816: Marrying Ian was the practical, logical thing for Becca to do. But once Callum sailed away to America, she missed his rakish charm and lust for life. Now, ten years later, Becca is a widow when a much-changed Callum returns to his Scottish homeland. Will he remember their spirited, fiery connection, or does he blame her for his brother’s unexpected death? This time neither of them can deny their scorching attraction, but will their hearts be burned in the blazing heat of scandal?

I finished The Songbird by Marcia Willet last night, I’ll be reading Half of What You Hear by Kristyn Kusek Lewis next.
I’m reading an Anabelle Bryant ARC
I enjoyed the world Keri Arthur created in Unlit.
I’m reading my way thru Jill Shalvis’s Heartbreaker Bay series – I’m almost done with book #3 Accidentally On Purpose – am enjoying it a lot!
I finished Laura Lee Gurhke’s Governess Gone Rogue – loved it! and read Resisting the Rancher by Kadie Scott it was also a fun read.
I am glad you are enjoying Devil’s Daughter, super excited to read it. Hope its better than book four.
didn’t like Waiting for a Rogue Like You by Samantha Holt
Ahh, the Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie is a great book…enjoy! I’m looking forward to reading Devil’s Daughter.
Recent reads here ~
— continued my Anne Bishop reread and finished Marked In Flesh, Etched in Bone, and Lake Silence … ahhh. Now I am more than ready for her forthcoming book.
— read Rebecca Roanhorse’s Trail of Lightning. While it was an intriguing story (and I learned a good bit of native American mythology), I don’t believe I’ll reread it and I likely won’t read on in the series.
I finished Hot Asset and Hard Sell by Lauren Layne and enjoyed both. Huge Deal comes out this week, so I’m looking forward to Kate & Kennedy’s story. Kennedy is portrayed as the most uptight of the Wall Street heroes, so it should be a fun read. I’m also looking forward to West’s story in Lisa Kleypas’ new book.
Just finished Kelly Bowen’s A Good Rogue Is Hard To Find and really enjoyed it. Loved how what you see on the surface isn’t always what is really going on.
I love the world Chloe Neill has created in The Sight.
